Oval Ring Antenna?

[Ghost117]

I've seen this type of antenna on repeater towers in my town but I can't figure out what kind of antenna that is. Anyone know?

Looks like a folded dipole to me?

Anyone else?

Half wave folded dipole. Seen mostly on commercial installations.

There is only one there, but they are usually seen in pairs; ie: 2, or 4.

Half wave folded dipole set up for an omni pattern. Spacing from the mast/mount determines the pattern. But I do NOT see any coax cables on the three antennas..........

My guess is 160 mHz for broadcast remote pick up.

There is one coax seen masking taped up to top, but cannot see the connection.

Looks like a Sinclair 210C.

You guys are trying way too hard.

It's not real, it's a video game.
Obviously copied after a real folded dipole, but that's it.

Yup looks like the Sinclair, one of my favorite antennas.

Nah, they copied my homebrew aero band folded dipole cut down from a TV antenna....

Yes it is XD. But I see those antennas on repeater towers a lot around my town and I didn't really feel like going out to snap a pic of one, so I used Far Cry 5, lol.

That's fair. You got the photo you need. Just pointing it out for the guys complaining about not seeing coaxial cable.
